There wasn’t a long wait to find out what’s moving in — the windows were already plastered last night with signs proclaiming “Slightly Oliver” will be taking Bar Luna’s place at 511 Amsterdam (between 84th & 85th).

The turnaround from “closed” to “coming soon” happened so fast that I wonder if perhaps it’s the same owners simply re-imagining the place. The signs in the windows tout Slightly Oliver as being a “cocktails, food, and wine” establishment, so the spirit of the new place won’t be so different from the one it’s replacing. More to come…

The big opening rumor today is that a new bagel place may be moving into the old H & H Bagels space at 2239 Broadway, corner of 80th (h/t to @TovahGo).

Davidovich, in business since 1998, is primarily a wholesaler — they provide bagels to Whole Food and UWS grocery Barzini, among others.

2239 Broadway landlord Friedland Properties is asking $950,000/year in rent for the 4,100 sf space (2,100 at street-level + a 2,000 sf basement) — that’s a crapload of bagels. H & H had financial problems that weren’t entirely related to their rent, but it’s worth noting that they couldn’t make the math work and I’m pretty sure they were playing less than what Friedland is currently asking.
